Christian Wilkins names his top five Clemson defensive lineman

Former Clemson star defensive lineman Christian Wilkins joined Darien Rencher’s podcast this week and was asked to name his top five defensive lineman in Tigers history.

Wilkins, who now plays for the Miami Dolphins, pieced together a historic career at Clemson. In four seasons with the Tigers, the defensive end racked up 250 tackles, 41 tackles for loss, 16 sacks, 56 quarterback hurries, three forced fumbles and was a three-time All-American.

Still, Wilkins did not include himself on the list. Instead, in no particular order, he named some legends along with a former teammate. Grady Jarrett, Vic Beasley, William “The Fridge” Perry, DaQuan Bowers and Gaines Adams all made the cut.

Just more evidence of the talent Clemson has produced over the years.

That number was initially supposed to be five, but linebacker target T.J. Dudley has rescheduled his trip.

Clemson Sports provided an in-depth preview of this group of visitors and where the Tigers stand with each of them.
